Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Hiroaki Ohta. If you google this term it will show you his personal page as well as the many retailers online who sell his wares.
Enjoy! They shipped it yesterday I am anxiously awaiting this piece.
-
Ohta is top notch, you will not be disappointed, I have not handled another knife that has a better fit & finish.
-
Congrats Seul, that knife is hard to put down for sure.

I haven't seen the video, but wrist-flicking can fuck up a knife. If Chris Reeve receives one for maintenance and sees signs of it he will replace the affected parts and charge you for it.

How to clean a Sebenza
If you run into a problem and just can’t get it back together, please feel free to put everything into a baggie and send it back to us. We will be more than happy to assemble the knife for you! Please note that excessive flicking of the blade will also produce a rough action. Continuous wrist flicking will eventually damage the lock because the stop pin and back of the blade are not designed for that sort of continual shock. -
Sebbies open great with a flick, you just don't need to snap your wrist. As long as you do a regular thumb flick and don't whip your wrist (which is unnecessary to begin with) it won't damage the knife.

Thanks for the vid Seul, now I want a Ti-lock! Had never paid that much attention to them previously, which is a shame because I think that's a great design, and clever use of innate material properties.
I'm tempted to order direct, but I think there's a dealer here in the UK whose prices aren't far off what I'd pay if I factor on shipping and duty.
-
I used to be able to do the same with my Ti-Lock I loved that video. Opening was always easy closing took a lot of practice to close that fast. Out of all the knives I bought and sold that is the only one I miss not having.
-
The action he is putting on his open looks extremely violent to me. If it's designed for that, well and good, but that would definitely be a terrible way to open a Sebbie.

Hopefully the same warranty applies. You may pay for it, but no matter how you abuse a Sebbie opening it he will fix it. Somehow people misinterpret that warranty as "zOMGz Chris Reeve tries to tell you how to open your knife, you'll void your warranty if you flick it open!!!"
The clip makes it easy to attach your knife to say a thick flannel shirt without having to apply pressure... Very practical!..
